Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: The percentage of students who get placed in my course is good. The highest package offered is 10 LPA. The average package of my course is only 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies that visit the college are from India. The percentage of students who got internships from my course is 80%.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department are very good. Wi-Fi is not available in my course. All things are present for students. The quality of code made in my college is good. Medical and sports facilities are available for all students.
Faculty: Teachers in my course are helpful, but they are not knowledgeable. They have great teaching qualities. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams in my course are easy. More than 95% of students pass with good marks.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: As I have seen I can say that campus placement conditions have improved in IISc after the inception of the campus placement cell. The average package is around 25 LPA. Since most of the students go for higher studies from IISc, you will see the placement percentage to be low. I am also going for higher studies so this is the placement experience.
Infrastructure: From what I have seen, the college has quite a good infrastructure compared to the other colleges in the city. Wi-Fi service is available all around the campus. Our classrooms are very clean. The library has a good collection of books. We have clean washrooms. The hostel does not have good things. The food is the worst. Sports are good.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and well-qualified, like Ph.D. holders. The teaching quality is good, and the course makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are more difficult than those at other colleges, but they help in building students. The passing CGPA is above 9. Overall good experience.

Review of Indian Institute of Science.
Placements: Placement and job opportunities here are excellent. The total number of companies visiting for placements is much higher than any other college in the class. The list of companies includes LnT, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Jindal Steel, Wipro, TCS, A2Z Solutions, and the list goes on. There is a placement cell at the university that assists students in securing placements. They prepare students for upcoming opportunities.
Infrastructure: The course curriculum is very lucrative. As a student of accounts and tax, I was taught these subjects in great depth. Additionally, regular classes were held, which proved to be extremely helpful as we had just transitioned from school to college. Exams were held semester-wise, meaning we had internal assessments twice a year. The hostel infrastructure is rated 7 out of 10, the food 9 out of 10, hostel facilities 7 out of 10, gym facilities 8 out of 10, and strictness 5 out of 10. Some strict rules can make students feel aggressive.
Faculty: The faculty at this university is excellent, and all the teachers are highly skilled. They also provide extracurricular activities. All faculty members hold Ph.D. degrees, and they are very cooperative and responsible. The semester system is in place, which includes 2 CA tests in a single year and 2 semester-end exams each year. Every subject includes practical work, which encompasses assignments and projects.

Teachers really want to teach, they take every class and rarely take leaves.
Placements: From the fifth semester, students were eligible for campus placements. Various product-based and service-based companies like Flipkart, Accenture, Scalar, Visa, etc., visited. The college made efforts to every student placed.
Infrastructure: The library was good, and the range and availability of books were decent. The librarian was also cooperative. There were no charges for library fees if you took a book for 5 days. The college also provided bus facilities for students and faculty members.
Faculty: Faculty to student ratio was 1:10. The course structure was well-defined for all departments. Facilities were very helpful. Two tests were conducted in a single semester, and the average of both tests was sent to the university. The marking scheme was transparent, accurate, and deserved.
Other: Our college organized fests and many sports activities. In the fest, college students arranged their respective shops and sold products, earning a pretty good amount. Many shops like clothes, food, chaat, etc. Enjoyment during these fests was fun.

The extra curriculum is commendable here now, and then something goes on.
Placements: From the 3rd year, students become eligible for campus placements. The college also gives the opportunity to sit in placements even after passing out. The average package that our college offers is around 3.6 LPA, while the highest one can reach up to 16-18 LPA. It is based on the student's merit and performance. Every year, many renowned companies visit and offer career opportunities to students.
Faculty: Faculty to student ratio is proper, as it should be in a college. I personally like Debraj Roy sir since he is very fun-loving and at the same time explains Maths as if it is the easiest subject in our course. I can't recall any faculty members whom I do not like. There are 4 internal exams, CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4, and a semester exam at the end.
Other: As I stated earlier, every now and then there are activities going on. The major is the freshers' party and the fashion show. They are the highlights of this university, while other universities are failing at IT. The second thing is the fest, which usually happens in February and goes on for about a week. Various concerts are also held.
